Oh my, my...

This is the mantra only, and in Sanskrit.  I think I have listened to this twenty times today.

A lovely rendition.

I also like this from Lama Tashi, the Dalai lama's Chant Master.  I think only the Gelugpa use this deep chanting technique:

Great!  Hard to imagine a greater contrast between these vocalizations!

Yes, and because both are outside of the usual forms, they become etherial and hypnotic.

I occasionally try the deep chanting, and on the odd occasion it works it has a very profound effect, as if becoming one with the mantra, dharani or sutra.

More usually, I end up coughing! LOL :)

The visuals in these productions are especially pleasing too.  I don't know how to describe it, but somehow the photos of the mundane in the one I posted -- a rain-wet car park for example -- struck me as particularly poignant. 

Yes, I did just write that about a parking lot.  :)

It's in Sanskrit and not Pali...


Yup you are right, t.

My mistake.

Again, thanks for pointing out :)
